DANG!

I think the plan is for Bryan to be deliberately kept away from Orton by Triple H (he sent The Wyatts after him and Punk, Kane might also get involved) until he wins the Royal Rumble, as that's a title shot Triple H can't deny and can't control.

CM Punk is reportedly in line to win the Royal Rumble in January and would go on to face Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.

However, there is also talk of the Royal Rumble winner possibly facing the holder of the World Heavyweight Champion.

That begs the question: Where would that leave Daniel Bryan? According to the report, Bryan is currently in line to face his former trainer Shawn Michaels, who would come out of retirement four years after hanging up his boots.

Buff Bagwell turns back the clock...doesn't cover the Helms incident, just talks about that infamous match with Booker T. Hard to fault his logic TBH:

On his brief run in WWE: “I was the first match of the Invasion…why would they put Booker T. versus Buff Bagwell in Tacoma, Washington…we’re main event on Raw…and it ain’t good. They could wait seven days and put this in Atlanta…instead we got booed out of the building in Tacoma, Washington and we had a bad match, double whammy, you know…If you’re asking me, they already knew that they were done with WCW, they just were gonna make us the sacrificial lambs to end it…all they had to do was wait a week and Booker T and Buff Bagwell get over in Atlanta, instead we got buried in Tacoma…they had a gold mine with WCW, forget Buff, they had a gold mine…Sting, Luger against the Rock, Stone Cold, it was endless…you could’ve gone on and on with that for wrestling fans, for wrestlers, you could’ve gone on and on, but instead they just beat us all and sent us home.”

On his WWE release: “They waited to fire me in Atlanta, why even make me come down there? Make me drive down to Phillips Arena to fire, my god, how brutal is that? I don’t know if they hadn’t figured it out totally or what, I think they had…I think they already knew they were done with us and were gonna put us on the shelf and they did so.”

I agree with that but guys like Booker T were gonna shine and succeed no matter what Vince did them. The cream always rises and all that cliche but Booker took the shit sammich Vince served up and smiled after every bite and he is still one of the most popular guys in wrestling today.

The Wyatt Family/Shield face off was so great! Classic super hero team-up booking (except with the bad guys ). Loved the Luke Harper/Seth Rollins face off. Really like Rollins, he isn’t taking anyone’s shit. Made up for the incredibly stupid opening. Wyatts vs the Shield vs Punk/Bryan would be so great at Survivor Series.

Speaking of the opening segment, what was the purpose of that? To show how everyone is incompetent except for HHH and Stephanie? Vickie gets to make a match cause she was the former GM of Raw. Only word I can use for that is retarded. And why was Kane putting up with Maddox’s shit? He’s fucking Kane and Brad Maddox is like the wimpiest guy.

And then the Big Show leaves 15 minutes into the show. He fought to just get his job back and he bails his first show back. What an asshole!

The Union Jacks were fun. I wish they’d come out every show with a new gimmick pandering to the city they’re in.

Hated Cena beating two guys clean, what’s the point. I did love the crowd here, they genuinely hated Cena. In the US even though he gets booed they chant along ‘you can’t see me’ but here I couldn’t hear it.

All valid complaints, but I enjoyed the episode. Been getting my kids to watch with me (and actually pay attention) and that makes it more enjoyable - I even like John Cena.

The Divas are still the most interesting aspect of the show thanks to Total Divas. I can't get enough of any storyline involving them (or their boyfriends).
